Colonel Jukusz will be presenting a talk exploring how Poland has created an indigenous and layered network to deter threats. In his session, he will be covering the following:

an introduction to the new shoulder-launched Piorun missile system into ground formations;

key requirements for the mid-range NAREW programme to counter low-flying aircraft and cruise missile threats; and
